No football coach wants to admit having interest in Texas job

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio is not looking to parlay the Spartan’s Rose Bowl trip into a new job.

He says he’s where he wants to be.

“I see Michigan State as the destination, not a stop,” Dantonio said Tuesday when asked about being a potential candidate for other jobs, most notably Texas. “It’s flattering, but that’s the way I see it.”

Dantonio was one of several coaches deflecting questions about or denying interest in the Texas head coaching job this week.
